An overwhelming majority of Americans think texting while driving is such a bad idea it should be outlawed. A new poll finds that 90% of us support a ban; the most contrary demographic is, rather unsurprisingly, young'uns aged 18 to 29—though a robust 83% are in favor of a ban. And, CBS News points out, there’s no anti-cell phone bias: 90% of both mobile users and those who cling to landlines think your fingers should be glued to the wheel.

Not only should the texting, but cell phone use while driving should be banned. We don't allow drunk drivers to drive legally and even the cell phone use while drivng has shown that it is on the level of drunk driving. If you want to be paranoid about your privacy I feel sorry for you, but if I have a accident or get hurt because some idiot is texting then I have every right to prove that they are.

there are a group of people who are using blue paintballs to make thier point against drivers using thier cellphones. usually 3 quick rounds are enough to get a drivers attention, but still leave them clueless about what happened until they get out of thier car. The point of it is that the drivers are so distracted they don't know what's going on around them.
